What people have asked about this business.

Hours for drop in training puppies

You can call and work out a time. I drop my dog off before they open at 9. They are pretty good about being flexible.

Question on Google
How old has to be the dog yo be training..?

That's probably about right. Give them a call. Depending on the size of dog and any problematic behavior, if applicable, they may ask u to come in for a free assessment before scheduling a dog in a class w other dogs.

Community answer · Karen Johnson · 2019-09-21

I think 3 to 6 months

Community answer · Cari · 2019-09-21

I have been taking my German Shepherd Gus to Gary and his team for several weeks now and have to say they are amazing. When I got Gus, I was working afternoon shifts, so unfortunately, I failed to socialize him. Fast forward to now, he is a completely different dog. I can not say enough good things about Gary and the team over at K9 Guardians. If you have an unsocialized dog or a slightly aggressive dog, K9 Guardians is your best bet in the area. Not to mention their pricing is amazing!

Gary, Joe, and the rest of the K9 Guardians crew are top notch. My family brought my childhood dog in almost 20 years ago and I have now brought my own dog. I have a high energy breed and the difference has been night and day in only a few weeks. Pricing is more than reasonable and I would recommend to anyone

Some businesses are just businesses, going through the motions to make a living. Then there are some businesses that are a way of life, people who are passionate about what they do. K9 Guardians is one of those passionate businesses. A family business that serves Man’s Best Friend. Over the years my family has used K9 Guardians for short term boarding and training. Recently, we have had to use them for long term boarding. I rest assured that Gary and Joe take great care of our dogs, treating them like family.

My dog lefty was being aggressive when I would take him for a walk. I took Lefty for training and after a few sessions Lefty became good. He starting listening, following directions, and patient. The training was awesome. I plan on taking lefty back again for a refresher.

WOW, Gary and Joe work wonders! Cesar Milan has nothing on these guys! I have a bullheaded male English bull terrier they are helping to listen and behave! Thank you! I have worked with these guys with a few of my dogs over the years!
